Failure To Wear Mask While In Public Places Is A Criminal Offense - FG Declares by lilmerhnuel(m): 11:16am On Jul 02, 2020
Has Nigeria’s parliament criminalized the act of not wearing a mask in public?

The claim that not wearing a mask in public has been criminalized by Nigeria's parliament is partially true.

The allegation was circulated in several WhatsApp groups following President Buhari

Museveni’s televised address on May 3, 2020, when he directed that all Nigerians should wear masks in public as a precautionary measure in the fight against COVID-19, while the country started a phased lifting of the lockdown.

Claim
“It has finally been gazetted. Failure to wear a mask while in a public place is actually a Criminal offense. Section 6(1)(b) as read with section 11 of the Regulations. If found guilty, you can be

liable to a fine of N20,000/= or imprisonment for 6 months or both, so don’t say you were not warned. Share widely with friends so that they should not leave the house without a mask.

Public place means stepping outside your house. So, take precautions."
